Wouldn't Alvarez need to win a tournament or have they done away with that?
Also the TNA thing has made Bellator look fake as it is associated with professional wrestling, bad move by Spike/Rebney IMO.

They put a 'title fight rematch clause' into effect a while back, around the time they started on Spike TV I think. It was the first move they made to try and keep Eddie Alvarez amicably when his contract came up. He was originally told he'd have to win another tourney to get a rematch with Chandler.

So Dave Jansen has to wait even longer for a shot.. Dunno why they have so many tournaments close together, just going to leave a long queue! I like Alavarez though and think that will be a cracker. Wonder what will happen with the winner of Tito vs Rampage though and if they will make them enter a tournament before getting a title shot or change the rules..

About a year ago the UFC was struggling to even fill a card due to pull outs/injuries. IMO they would of been happy to have these two heading a card and would of used the losses as another angle to promote both former champions "needing" a win and "being hungry". I understand about their losses and relevence in the division,but Tito is still Tito and Rampage is still Rampage and both IMO would of held the top of the bill and sold the PPV/tickets.
